All the savage is jealous, I will farm
Chapter 025
In the final analysis, the purpose of the Huangshui tribe is to covet the resources of the Huangping tribe. Even if they don't know what their plan is, relevant countermeasures need to be prepared as soon as possible.
Immediately afterwards, Su Yao issued a series of orders. Physical training was added to the teaching content in the school. All children over the age of five, regardless of gender, must follow specially arranged people to exercise their physical fitness. The daily training of soldiers doubles. Increased weight.
Su Yao summed up some relatively simple and easy-to-learn close-to-hand combat skills, and asked the women to practice self-protection. At the same time, he also selected a group of young and neat women to follow Su Ya to learn simple bandaging and hemostasis first aid knowledge.
A lot of training has increased personal consumption, and it seems that the food that was originally distributed will not last until the beginning of spring. When everyone is worrying about food, the third of the food stored in the tribe comes in handy.
Su Yao released the news that the tribe distributed a certain amount of food to the trainees to supplement their physical strength every day, and this part of the food was borne by the tribe.
No longer worrying about the food, everyone was busy again, and the patrols became two teams every day, starting when the sky was slightly bright, patrolling and handing over with the other team at noon.
Everything is on the right track, and Su Yao is also thinking about weapons.
Both the Huangping tribe and the Huangshui tribe use wooden arrows and spears. Once the wooden arrows exceed the shooting range, the lethality will be greatly reduced. The spears can only do close combat and do not do enough damage.
However, the iron ore has not been found yet, and iron weapons cannot be realized. According to the actual situation of the tribe, they can only rely on wooden weapons to win. After thinking about it, Su Yao set his sights on the catapult.
Exquisite gear catapults are obviously impossible to do with the current tools and technology, but simple human-driven catapults can still be tried.
Su Yao found a piece of cowhide, and directly drew the pattern of a simple catapult on it: a piece of wood was placed on the top of the two triangular wooden frames, and then the long handle of the catapult was fixed. The upper part of the catapult was basically It took shape.
In order to facilitate the movement, Su Yao added a row of quadrilateral frames to the wooden wheels under the tripod, so that the position of the catapult can be changed on the battlefield with only human push.
After drawing the sketch, new difficulties appeared. It was not difficult to prepare the wood, but there was still one thing missing: a rope with strong elasticity.
Use an ordinary rope to fix one end of the long handle of the stone throwing. If the elasticity is small, throwing stones too close will not be effective, and it is easy to hurt your own people.But in the wilderness, grass ropes are used, and ropes with strong elasticity are really hard to find.
Su Yao thought of the old priest, and with the knowledge of the priest, he might be able to find a substitute.
Hearing the purpose of Su Yao's visit, the priest stared at the bullhide in Su Yao's hand with excitement on his face: "Don't worry about the rope, let me see what the catapult looks like."
Su Yao had no choice but to unfold the cowhide to the priest.However, although the priest had read the school for a few days, he had never seen the complicated drawings, and he could not understand the data marked on the drawings, so he had to look at Su Yao eagerly.
As a last resort, Su Yao could only explain the working principle of the catapult a little bit. What he said was simple and vivid, and the priest understood it quickly after he had experienced people.
"The envoy's idea is good." The priest stroked his beard in satisfaction: "At that time, we will build a stable high platform outside the tribe, and put the catapult on it to throw it farther."
"When the snow stopped, I asked those boys to pick up stones in the river dam. Large and small stones were piled up in a circle in the tribe, and whoever came would be smashed, especially the thieves of the Huangshui tribe. It would be better if they smashed to pieces. "The priest was excited like a hot-blooded young man, obviously hating the Huangshui tribe very much.
Su Yao agreed with the priest's plan, but he still reminded: "Grandpa priest, if you don't tell me where to find a rope with strong elasticity, this catapult will not be able to be made well."
The priest's expression froze for a moment, and he gave a fake cough, then thought: "There is a kind of blood vine growing beside the stream deep in the forest, a small piece can be pulled for a long time, and it can recover immediately when it is loosened. , even with a bone knife, it’s hard to pick.”
Su Yao was a little pleasantly surprised. Isn't this a pure natural elastic cord? It doesn't matter to him if it is hard to pick.
"Please ask the priest to ask a few prudent and dexterous warriors to prepare the wood first, and I will go to Xitan to pick blood vines and grass." Su Yao was about to leave, but was stopped by the priest in a hurry: "It is dangerous in such a big snowy forest. The people from the previous team will follow you, so we can rest assured."
"Understood, priest, don't worry."
Go forward along the patrolling team and find Zhongli at the stone platform on the upper dam.It stands to reason that it has come to the end of the cold winter, and the snow should be less, but the weather changes as it says, and it is still sunny in the morning, and it snows again in the afternoon.
Su Yao was wearing a jet-black fur cloak, and he strolled in the yard without any snow on his feet. The guards immediately stood up when they saw it, and they were not surprised at Su Yao's appearance of walking lightly on the snow.
In their hearts, Su Yao is the incarnation of the gods, and it is normal to have all kinds of miraculous performances. Walking on snow like this is just a common skill.
When Su Yao came to the front, everyone put their right hands on their chests and shouted in unison: "I have seen you, Lord God Envoy."
"You don't need to be too polite." Su Yao shot out a burst of fire spirit power, and everyone saw an orange-red light wave from Su Yao's hand and landed on him. The warm feeling filled the whole body, and the exhaustion of trekking in the snow was also swept away. And empty.
As soon as I thought about it, I knew that this was another witchcraft bestowed by the envoy. Everyone thanked Su Yao in a hurry, and the snow was very lively.
Su Yao waited until the voices of the people became quieter before saying: "Zhongli and I have something to do, you go back first."
Zhongli nodded in agreement, his eyes only fell on Su Yao.
Seeing this, Shi Shi stopped talking and organized a team to return to the tribe neatly.
After the group of people had gone far away, Su Yao asked Zhongli with a smile: "Why don't you talk, afraid that I will sell you?"
The gloom on Zhongli's face dissipated a bit, dimples looming: "Don't be afraid, I'm going to follow you anyway."
For some reason, Su Yao felt that this answer was very pleasing to the ear, and he relaxed the aura he was facing in front of outsiders just now: "Take me to Xitan, the priest said that there are blood vines and grasses there."
"Okay." Zhongli responded.
The two walked up the mountain side by side. Not long after they left, Zhong Li squeezed closer to Su Yao, and the distance between them got closer.
After walking a few steps like this, the shoulders of the two collided several times. Su Yao thought that maybe the road up the mountain was not easy, and Zhongli's body was not as light as his own, so they bumped into each other after walking a little hard.
He simply grabbed Zhongli's wrist, a wave of spiritual power slowly flowed from his palm to Zhongli's tendons, causing his body to suddenly lighten.
Seeing Zhongli's slightly wide-open eyes in surprise, Su Yao was amused, and explained: "The snow in the mountains is too thick, you follow the formula I taught you to bring this power to your feet, and I will take you away. "
Zhong Li nodded his head lightly, and obediently followed what Su Yao said. Sure enough, the steps he took were only floating on the snow, and he didn't step on it. He walked effortlessly.
Su Yao knew that Zhongli's comprehension was amazing, and he was not surprised to see him learn to use spiritual energy just once, so he took Zhongli's arm and walked quickly to the top of the mountain.Zhong Li followed beside him, his eyes fell on the two people's intertwined wrists, and a gentle smile appeared on his gloomy face.
The two walked for an entire hour, and finally saw the whole picture of Xitan.
Xitan is the birthplace of streams in the forest. The place closest to the top of the mountain is backed by a hundred-foot-high cliff. Animals in the mountain like to drink water by the stream. The snow around Xitan is all stepped on by animals. Hoofprints.
Standing at the creek and looking around, the mountains and fields are covered with silver. The [-] mountains of the Dahuang Mountains are connected with the distant sky in the heavy snow, which is extraordinarily magnificent. The creek in the center of the mountains is like an emerald inlaid in the vast white snow. , Quiet and mysterious.
The afternoon sun was half hidden among the mountains, and a little golden-red light fell, which was extremely brilliant.
Such primitive, desolate, mysterious, and extreme beauty shocked Su Yao to stand in place. With just one glance, he felt the vastness and dignity of the wild world that was cold to the bone.
"This kind of scenery is really charming." After a long time, Su Yao sighed.
For the first time, he had the urge to hold the [-] mountains and the [-]-mile plain in his hands. He believed that as long as he was a human being, he would have such an idea standing here at this moment.
At this moment, Su Yao was a little grateful for the task arranged by Tiandao for him, and bursts of pride surged in his heart, wanting to leave a strong mark in this vast wilderness with his own ability.
Zhong Li came back to his senses earlier than Su Yao, and he was also indulging in these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, but the people beside him in his heart are more important than these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.
Hearing Su Yao's emotion, Zhong Li vaguely felt that Su Yao seemed to have changed: he was no longer like a spectator sent by the gods, wandering at both ends of the world, and everything was out of sight.
The spiritual power from his body was removed, and his feet stepped on the snow and landed on the soil. At this time, Su Yao completely integrated himself into the Hundred Thousand Mountains and into this wild world.
"Ah Yao, the wind is getting strong." A cold wind blew in the woods, and Zhong Li stood by Su Yao's side to cover up some of the coldness.
"Okay," Su Yao breathed out slowly, with excitement in his eyes: "Let's go to collect blood vines."
The blood vine grass is dark red in color, and the vines are rooted between the cliffs and rocky mountains, and the large areas are very lush.
Su Yao's cultivation at the third level of qi training is not yet ready to fly in the air, he jumped high with the help of his feet, and the spiritual power he shot turned into a blade aimed at the root of the blood vine grass.
Dozens of spiritual powers fell down one after another, and many blood vines and grasses fell from the rocky mountain, all of which were collected by Su Yao in the space.
Everyone in the tribe is busy with work. On the plain on the other side of the mountain, more than 700 young and strong warriors are carrying sharp spears, bows and arrows, and carrying bulging animal skin tents. coming from the direction.
When the two returned to the tribe, a lot of wood had been piled up on the big field, and many people were repairing wooden wheels with stone axes. The priest who was directing everyone to work saw Su Yao with a smile and narrowed his eyes: "The envoy of God is back, and the blood is found. Is the vine grass gone?"
Su Yao nodded, curious about the source of this pile of wood: "Where do you get so much wood?"
The priest stroked his beard, and his mouth hadn't stopped laughing since he saw the blueprint: "Anyway, a wooden house is not warm, so it's better to dismantle it and make a catapult first."
It turned out that there was not much wood in the tribe, so some people took the initiative to tear down the unused beams of their houses. Anyway, there are a lot of wood on the mountain, and they can cut it when they rejuvenate.
Seeing this, other people followed suit one after another, and the big field was full of logs in a short while.
Seeing how everyone worked together, Su Yao was naturally satisfied, and asked the priest to take care of the main frame of the catapult, and he and Zhong Li went to deal with the blood vine grass.
Fresh blood vine grass is more resilient than Su Yao imagined. A one-foot-long vine can be stretched to ten or even fifteen times the length before breaking, and it can be retracted instantly when it is released before it breaks. Works better than some modern rubber bands.
But the shortcomings of the blood vine grass are also obvious. As a plant, once it loses water, it will dry up and lose its toughness, and it will turn into a fine powder when it is crushed with your fingertips.
Su Yao can only use various methods to retain the water in the vines, but other methods except applying magic formulas are not very effective. As long as there is air, the water will escape sooner or later.
For several days in a row, Su Yao did not find a solution.
Large and small catapults were erected on the field, the big ones were eight or nine meters high, and the small ones were more than three meters high. The catapults with wooden wheels were fixed in place, which looked very majestic.
Now everything is ready to be finished, only the ropes that add elasticity remain.
Su Yao was not in a hurry, if he couldn't do it, he would first use monk means to solve the predicament in front of him, and then slowly figure out the rest.
Just thinking about this, Su Yao suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "There are many places in the forest where there is water. Why must the blood vine grass grow on the edge of the stream? Is there something weird there?" He immediately got up and ran back to the mountain. He had a hunch that if he figured out the reason, he might be able to solve the problem of blood vine grass moisturizing.
Zhong Li went to patrol, and Su Yao was not interested in walking alone in the woods, so he simply took a quick escape and reached the top of the mountain in less than 10 minutes.
Xi Tan was as quiet as ever. Su Yao sensed a pack of wolves peeping in the woods, perhaps because he sensed something abnormal about Su Yao. The pack of wolves just guarded him and didn't intend to attack him.
Su Yao carefully checked along the place where the blood vine grass grew, and found no problem the first time, everything was normal.He didn't give up, the monk's intuition told him there must be a reason.
During the second inspection, he looked more carefully, even dug out the dirt under the snow and looked at it one by one, and this time he found the problem: the soil where blood vine grass grows is darker than other places shallower.
Blowing away the snowflakes on the soil layer, Su Yao changed the soil spirit power to feel the breath of the soil, and finally found a different place inside. The weathered rock powder in the soil makes it extra moist, because these powders have a strong Absorptive, absorbing moisture in the air all the time.
The blood vine was saved. Su Yao collected a lot of rock weathering powder. He twisted the fresh blood vine into a straw rope and soaked it in the powder, so that the surface of the grass rope was completely covered with powder. Then he made a trick and found These straw ropes have not shown signs of drying up for a long time.
In order to have a better effect, Su Yao added colloidal juice to the powder. The juice and powder are mixed together for stronger adsorption and moisturizing.
Great, problem solved!Su Yao smiled, as if a boy had solved a puzzle, and his peach blossom eyes added a bit of youthful agility, which didn't match his mysterious status as an envoy.
Carrying a large amount of weathered rock powder down the mountain, when taking a shortcut to climb a mountain, Su Yao saw smoke rising into the air on the plain in the distance, like the thick smoke rising from a grand bonfire.
Ordinary people would not be able to see so far away, but Su Yao's cultivation is about to break through the third level of Qi training, and his body functions will be greatly improved. In addition, he is standing high, and the smoke in the distance will enter his line of sight. .
It is impossible for heavy snow in cold winter to spontaneously combust. How could there be smog on the endless plain?
It was almost without thinking that there was a fire on the plain. Unfortunately, the distance was too far and the grass covered it. Su Yao couldn't see the number of people stationed. He could only judge from the rising smoke pile that there must be a lot of people.
Keeping his doubts in his heart, Su Yao hurried back to the tribe.
"Zhongli, take people to invite the priest, patriarch, and Su Ya, and Chu Shan is in charge of leading people to twist the blood vines in the cave into straw ropes." Just after entering the tribe, they saw Zhongli and Chu Shan after the feeding, Su Yao immediately issued an order.
Zhongli didn't hesitate, his figure quickly disappeared into the snow, Chu Shan called his team members to rush to Zhongli's cave.
Su Yao quickly demonstrated how to deal with the blood vine grass, and Chu Shan and the others quickly learned to weave ropes quickly.
Zhongli rushed into the cave carrying the priest with slower legs and feet. The poor priest was knocked so old that he almost vomited his lunch. It took him a while to recover.
"The situation is urgent, so I'll just say it straight." Su Yao's expression was serious, and the others also became serious.
"There are traces of smoke on the plain, and I suspect that there are people stationed there, and there are a lot of them."
The priest's face changed when he heard this: "First, someone was spying on our tribe secretly, and now they are still stationed on our Huangping tribe's territory openly and aboveboard. They simply don't take our Huangping tribe seriously."
Bell Tower hesitated and said: "According to the situation in previous years, it is time to rejuvenate these few days, but this year's winter is too cold, maybe other tribes have not enough food, so they came out to look for food."
Su Yao didn't answer, and looked at Zhongli: "What do you think?"
Zhong Li's eyes swept across the clock tower and landed on Su Yao: "It's the Huangshui tribe." His tone was very firm: "It's exactly fifteen days since the time when the footprints were discovered."
That's right, everyone who grew up in the Huangping tribe knows that it only takes seven days to travel from the Huangshui tribe to the Huangping tribe. to the plains.
Moreover, the Huangshui tribe's covetousness towards the Huangping tribe has never diminished. This year's cold winter is so long, it is also possible that the Huangshui tribe lacks food and wants to take the opportunity to annex the Huangping tribe.
"I think the same as Zhongli." Su Yao looked at the crowd: "Even if the people who came here were not from the Huangshui tribe, they were definitely not good people. The weather is cold, and the source of food is the biggest problem. You guys know this better than me. "
The priest and the others were stunned: Yes, Shu Tan has lived for a long time and almost forgot what is going on outside the tribe. The cold winter is not over yet. Not all tribes can be blessed by the gods like the Huangping tribe, and they don’t have to worry about food and drink.
If there is not enough food, go to other tribes to plunder. This is a common thing among tribes. Whoever has a hard fist is justified. The law of survival in the wild has never changed.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Su Yao chuckled, and his slightly curved peach eyes flashed with an unusually bright light: "What do you want to do so much, no matter who it is, as long as he dares to come and fight directly, when did the soldiers of the Huangping tribe be afraid of it?" other people."
"Yes, obey the orders of the envoy!"
Before the priest and patriarch could react, Chu Shan and his team responded first, and the female voice mixed in was full of arrogance.
"Very good." Su Yao was very satisfied with their performance: "Chu Shan listened to the order and immediately gathered all the warriors of the tribe in the field, and issued the order in 10 minutes."
"Chu Shan takes orders!" Chu Shan's team ran out well-trained.
"Suya listens!"
"To!"
"You take the members of the medical emergency team in the tribe to sort out the first aid necessities immediately. All first aid tools must be disinfected and cleaned up, and they are on standby at any time."
"Yes, Angel!"
Su Yao's eyes fell on Zhongli, and his eyes showed full trust in him: "Zhongli obeys the order, all the soldiers in this operation will be under your command, only victory is not allowed!"
Zhong Li stood up straight, lowered his head slightly, and expressed his submission to Su Yao with actions: "Yes, envoy of God."
In just a few words, only the priest and patriarch and Su Yao were left in the cave.
Seeing the unnaturalness of the clock tower and the astonishment of the priest, Su Yao smiled confidently and powerfully: "Grandpa Priest, Lord Patriarch, do you have anything else to say now?"
Bell Tower opened his mouth, but finally shook his head silently.The priest wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he found that there seemed to be nothing to say, so he tapped on his crutch and said, "Of course I believe you, but I still want to say something."
Su Yao raised his eyebrows, his eyes bright: "Grandpa Priest, please tell me."
The priest's cloudy eyes were full of seriousness: "You are the tribe's reliance, please protect yourself."
Su Yao's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded in agreement: "I've made a note, priest, don't worry."
In the big field after 10 minutes, Su Yao did not say the reason for the assembly, but only issued a few orders: "Teams two to seven, immediately go to the river bank to pick up stones of appropriate size."
"The first team fixed the blood vine grass ropes on the catapults. The eighth and ninth teams were responsible for collecting the arrows uniformly, sharpening them and preparing them neatly. The tenth team was responsible for pushing all the catapults to the open space outside the tribe. Adjust the throwing distance."
Following his order, the five hundred warriors of the Huangping tribe moved quickly. The women who stayed behind in the tribe spontaneously boiled ginger soup to drive out the cold under the organization of Su Ya, and the old and weak set up lighting and heating tents. torches.
No one objected to Su Yao's order, and they had learned to obey all of Su Yao's orders before they knew it.
Everyone in the tribe was busy until the sound of the drum at [-] o'clock in the evening before they received Zhongli's order: "The eighth team will stay on watch and patrol, and the rest will go home and sleep immediately."
The orders are like a mountain, and after many days of training, the soldiers of the Huangping tribe have thoroughly memorized these four characters. Even if they have doubts, they will only follow the orders and never ask more questions.
It is about four hours away from the place where the smoke rose from the tribe. Su Yao knew that the other party must rely on something if he dared to sleep in the wild. when.
Because dawn is generally the time when people sleep most soundly and are least alert. At this time, sneak attacks can often bring great panic to the victims, and can reduce their resistance to a certain extent.
More importantly, who sleeps with a bow and spear?A warrior without weapons is like a wild wolf whose teeth have been pulled out, no matter how mighty they are, they cannot escape death.
Su Yao knew this. He analyzed the situation in front of him: If he wanted to launch a sneak attack early in the morning, the opponent would have to travel in the middle of the night. It was cold and dark at night, and traveling was extremely exhausting. Normally, he would not do this unless the opponent had enough warm clothes. Clothes and adequate food.
Food is not a problem. As for warm clothes... The barren land is vast and abundant, and there are many kinds of plants. This possibility cannot be ruled out.
Su Yao filled a bamboo tube with cold-dispelling soup, turned around and walked out of the cave.
Everyone in the tribe was asleep, and it was pitch black at a glance.He can see at night now, and walks in the snow like walking on flat ground.
"Why are you here? It's cold outside." Zhong Li took the bamboo tube from Su Yao's hand and put it aside, and stretched out his hand to cover him under his cloak to block the cold wind.
"I made a soup to drive you away from the cold." Su Yao said in a low voice, "Be careful when it's dawn, they may take the opportunity to sneak attack."
"Okay, I've made a note, you go back quickly." Zhong Li urged Su Yao to go back to the cave.
It was too windy outside the tribe, and the others crowded in groups of ten to rest behind the catapult, and only Zhongli took shelter from the wind alone. It was a little cold after all.
"Okay." Su Yao was also rude to him, but just put a ball of fire in Zhongli's hand when he left.
The small dumpling formed by Huo Lingli danced in Zhongli's hand, dispelling the cold in an instant. It was warm and soft like Su Yao's defenseless smile when he woke up from sleep. Zhongli put the fire dumpling on his heart and put it down.
Although the weather is cold these days, the dawn time is much earlier.It was still completely dark when the wild bird purred for the first time, and the tribe heard the sound of the wild cowhide drum, a total of five.
"It's five o'clock, get up quickly."
The soldiers all got up from the bed and put on their hardest wooden armor. The slaves and women who were in charge of breakfast had already cooked sweet rice fruit porridge and large pieces of bacon.
Each soldier is full of a bowl of vegetable and meat porridge, a piece of meat the size of a palm, and a roasted potato, which is enough to eat.
After breakfast, Chu Shan took a team of people to change shifts. At this time, the morning stars in the eastern mountains lit up.
Everything was ready, Zhongli led five hundred soldiers and stood quietly in the open space outside the tribe.
The sky was still dark before dawn, and it was so gray that I couldn't see it very clearly.A gray spot suddenly appeared on the distant plain, intertwined with the color of the snow and moving fast, if you don't look carefully, you will definitely miss it.
"Sure enough, it's a thief. Whose guest came so sneakily and shamelessly." The priest leaned on a cane and stood on the high platform with Su Yao. He leaned forward and stared at the moving points on the plain.
Although he still couldn't see the appearance of the thief clearly, the priest was [-]% sure that the idiots from the Huangshui tribe came.
Seeing that Su Yao didn't answer, the priest asked again: "Aren't you going to take a look, Zhongli has never commanded so many people to fight."
Su Yao chuckled, his eyes fell on Zhongli below, and his words were full of affirmation: "I believe in him, and I also believe in my vision. In my opinion, all the people in the Great Wilderness Mountains are no match for Zhongli alone."
The priest laughed: "I used to be like you. I had a good friend who talked about everything and trusted each other. It's a pity that he died early, and he has been gone for 20 years."
The morning star was covered by dark clouds, the sky that was about to brighten suddenly became dark, and heavy snow fell in mid-air, making the vision even more blurred.
Su Yao was not interested in other people's past, his attention fell on the plain, the attacker was about to enter the attack range of the catapult, which meant that the battle was about to begin.
Zhongli waved the big black flag three times in a row, and the captains ordered their team members: "Get your catapults ready!"
The sling handle was pulled away by the two men, and a stone weighing several tens of kilograms was placed on the semi-circular wooden plate that fixed the stone. All movements were silent, only waiting for the final instruction.
The black command flag swung forward suddenly, and dozens of catapults threw stones of all sizes following his movements.
Howling and screaming suddenly sounded in the distance, and the attackers in gray and white fur coats began to panic and dodge.
The second round of throwing stones flew out again, and the place where the big stone fell was covered with bright red blood in the white snow. In less than 5 minutes, dozens of people were killed or injured by the attackers.
There was a voice of reprimand in a familiar but somewhat different tone. It was the leader of the Huangshui tribe: "You are not allowed to retreat. Go forward. If you get closer, those stones will not be able to hit you."
The voice reached Su Yao's ears, and he chuckled, the leader of the Huangshui tribe was smarter than he imagined, but so what, they dared to come, Su Yao didn't intend to let them go back alive.
After five consecutive rounds of stone throwing, the sneak attackers had already run out of the range of throwing stones, Zhongli's command flag changed direction again, and the soldiers in the front row took out the bows and arrows they had prepared in advance from their backs and knelt down on one knee to prepare for shooting. The soldiers in the first row held wooden shields to block the heads of themselves and their teammates, and the soldiers in the third row also held bows and arrows to prepare for replacement.
Under the banner, sharp swords flew out like rain.The sneak attackers also bent their bows and set up arrows to shoot at this time, but the battlefield was changing rapidly, and one minute earlier meant that they had seized the opportunity.
The arrows of the Huangping tribe shot at the attackers first, and many people fell to the ground. Although the arrows of the attackers were dense, they were disorderly and less aggressive.
Most of the enemy's wooden arrows were blocked by the wooden shield, and a few scattered ones fell on the ground without causing damage.Following Zhongli's command, the people in the third row took the place of the first row to shoot, and the people in the first row retreated and re-nocked their arrows to prepare.
They have done these exercises many times during training, and now they are not only not nervous but very excited when using them on the battlefield.
After exchanging shots for ten rounds in a row, piercing screams rang out one after another. A ray of rising sun in the sky broke through and ravaged snowflakes and fell on the soldiers of the Huangping tribe. Only then did the leader of the raiders see clearly the posture of the Huangping tribe waiting for battle.
With just one glance, he knew that he had fallen into the trap of the Huangping tribe. He was shocked and hurriedly ordered the warriors to retreat: "Quickly retreat, don't run forward, they have an ambush."
However, these days of planning and absolute confidence in their own strength, the warriors of the Huangshui tribe have long regarded the Huangping tribe as prey, and now they have suddenly suffered a big loss. Fighting to vent his anger, he turned a deaf ear to the leader's words.
The distance between the two sides was narrowed again during the fast running, the shooting of bows and arrows was useless, Zhong Li gave an order and took the lead to charge forward.
Assassinated with a spear, desperately.The bloodiest scene of the wild tribe has just been staged.
The sharp spears were slightly less sharp than modern knives, but they could definitely pierce through animal skins and penetrate human organs.Seeing that no one listened to his order, the leader of the Huangshui tribe had no choice but to rush forward again.
He thought very clearly that no matter how scheming the Huangping tribe was, there were as many as four or five hundred people under his command who were still alive, and they would never suffer a loss in a fight.
The other members of the Huangshui tribe thought the same as he did. They didn't care what to do, and with their brute force, they really fought to a draw with the warriors of the Huangping tribe.
Zhongli's strikes were even more ruthless, and a single sweep of the spear could break his arms or pass through his chest. In just a few minutes, more than ten warriors of the Huangshui tribe died under his hands, and all of them died in miserable conditions. Rest in peace.
Such a scene was really cruel and bloody, even if the warriors of the Huangshui tribe were not afraid of death, they would not dare to fight again seeing Zhongli like this, so they had to flee in a hurry.
The spear in Zhongli's hand was dripping with bright red blood, and everyone shunned wherever he went. He walked steadily towards An Dahu, the leader of the Huangshui tribe, step by step.
Chu Shan, who was fighting with An Dahu, saw Zhongli approaching, and dodged An Dahu's attack with a dodge, leaving the position for Zhongli.
As soon as An Dahu missed the shot, he turned around and saw Zhong Li walking towards him not far away, and his heart suddenly felt cold: this person looked at him as if he was looking at a dead thing.
An Dahu knew that there was only one ending for today, either he died or the young man in front of him died.
The two spears were also stained with blood, the difference was that An Dahu's seemed a little old.
The spear points stab at each other, not giving in to each other.Zhong Li didn't use the tactic of lightening the body and the tactic of swords given to him by Su Yao, he only confronted An Dahu based on the experience he had learned in hunting.
Su Yao and the priest on the high platform not far away stared at the battlefield closely, and naturally saw that Zhong Li hadn't tried his best.The priest sighed and said softly, "Let me tell you a story."
Su Yao raised his eyebrows: "If you want to talk about Zhongli's parents, I already know about it."
"Have I already told you?" The priest chuckled, "It seems that your relationship is better than I thought."
Su Yao felt that the meaning in his words was a little weird, so he didn't answer.
The priest continued: "Then he must not have told you that his adoptive father, Zhong Yun, also died at the hands of the Huangshui tribe. These years, Zhongli never participated in the tribe's hunting and rarely appeared in front of people, because he often hunted down the old man in the mountains. enemy."
It takes seven days to travel along the plain to the Huangshui tribe, but it only takes three days to go through the dense forest, but there are too many dangers in the dense forest, and no one dares to go there.
In the final analysis, Zhong Li just wanted revenge.
The battle became more and more intense, and the soldiers of the Huangping tribe were also injured. Su Ya took twenty women with white cloths on their arms to place the injured soldiers aside and bandage them with medicine.
People kept falling, and blood stained the snow red.
Both Zhongli and An Dahu wanted to put each other to death with their deadly moves, and the other fighters also refused to give in to each other, desperately trying to protect their tribe and family.
The time seemed to overlap, and it was the same scene a few years ago, almost the same spear and similar appearance, Zhongli's parents and adoptive father died in the war to protect the tribe.
Today, a few years later, Zhong Li led his young people to behead the seven hundred warriors of the Huangshui tribe in front of the gate of the tribe, and sacrificed the former warriors with their blood and heads.
The spear in Zhongli's hand stabbed forward suddenly, and the sharp wooden blade pierced into An Dahu's neck. The spear slashed left and right, blood rushed into the air, and An Dahu's head fell to the ground.
"Leader..." The person who wanted to come to rescue was pierced by Chu Shan's spear and fell to the ground.
The warriors of the Huangping tribe have been trained for a long time, and they cooperated with each other tacitly, and countless people died at their hands.
Seeing the leader and the most outstanding warriors of his own tribe all die, the few remaining raiders also lost the will to attack and wanted to escape, but they were all captured by the soldiers of the Huangping tribe.
At this point, the surprise attack on the Huangshui tribe ended. Only 87 of the 610 warriors of the Huangshui tribe were alive, and all three of the remaining [-] died.
Soldiers from the Huangping tribe were seriously injured 37 people, 160 people were slightly injured, and no one was killed.
This is the first time that the Huangping tribe has won a big victory without losing a single person.
The snow under their feet was scarlet. The soldiers yelled loudly and danced a famous tribal dance around the slaves to celebrate. The women were busy preparing water and food for the soldiers. The joy of victory shrouded everyone's hearts.
The priest stroked his beard triumphantly with his cane: "The thieves of the Huangshui tribe, die well. My Huangping tribe has finally avenged for many years, hahahaha..."
"Are you happy?" The smell of blood permeated the tip of his nose, and Su Yao's fingertips trembled behind his back, but the smile on his face was still gentle.
The priest nodded subconsciously, and suddenly felt that Su Yao's tone was wrong, and turned his head to ask, "Why are you asking that, are you unhappy?"
Su Yao looked into the distance, the sun was shining through the clouds, and the other side of the plain
Immediately afterwards, Su Yao issued a series of orders. Physical training was added to the teaching content in the school. All children over the age of five, regardless of gender, must follow specially arranged people to exercise their physical fitness. The daily training of soldiers doubles. Increased weight.
Su Yao summed up some relatively simple and easy-to-learn close-to-hand combat skills, and asked the women to practice self-protection. At the same time, he also selected a group of young and neat women to follow Su Ya to learn simple bandaging and hemostasis first aid knowledge.
A lot of training has increased personal consumption, and it seems that the food that was originally distributed will not last until the beginning of spring. When everyone is worrying about food, the third of the food stored in the tribe comes in handy.
Su Yao released the news that the tribe distributed a certain amount of food to the trainees to supplement their physical strength every day, and this part of the food was borne by the tribe.
No longer worrying about the food, everyone was busy again, and the patrols became two teams every day, starting when the sky was slightly bright, patrolling and handing over with the other team at noon.
Everything is on the right track, and Su Yao is also thinking about weapons.
Both the Huangping tribe and the Huangshui tribe use wooden arrows and spears. Once the wooden arrows exceed the shooting range, the lethality will be greatly reduced. The spears can only do close combat and do not do enough damage.
However, the iron ore has not been found yet, and iron weapons cannot be realized. According to the actual situation of the tribe, they can only rely on wooden weapons to win. After thinking about it, Su Yao set his sights on the catapult.
Exquisite gear catapults are obviously impossible to do with the current tools and technology, but simple human-driven catapults can still be tried.
Su Yao found a piece of cowhide, and directly drew the pattern of a simple catapult on it: a piece of wood was placed on the top of the two triangular wooden frames, and then the long handle of the catapult was fixed. The upper part of the catapult was basically It took shape.
In order to facilitate the movement, Su Yao added a row of quadrilateral frames to the wooden wheels under the tripod, so that the position of the catapult can be changed on the battlefield with only human push.
After drawing the sketch, new difficulties appeared. It was not difficult to prepare the wood, but there was still one thing missing: a rope with strong elasticity.
Use an ordinary rope to fix one end of the long handle of the stone throwing. If the elasticity is small, throwing stones too close will not be effective, and it is easy to hurt your own people.But in the wilderness, grass ropes are used, and ropes with strong elasticity are really hard to find.
Su Yao thought of the old priest, and with the knowledge of the priest, he might be able to find a substitute.
Hearing the purpose of Su Yao's visit, the priest stared at the bullhide in Su Yao's hand with excitement on his face: "Don't worry about the rope, let me see what the catapult looks like."
Su Yao had no choice but to unfold the cowhide to the priest.However, although the priest had read the school for a few days, he had never seen the complicated drawings, and he could not understand the data marked on the drawings, so he had to look at Su Yao eagerly.
As a last resort, Su Yao could only explain the working principle of the catapult a little bit. What he said was simple and vivid, and the priest understood it quickly after he had experienced people.
"The envoy's idea is good." The priest stroked his beard in satisfaction: "At that time, we will build a stable high platform outside the tribe, and put the catapult on it to throw it farther."
"When the snow stopped, I asked those boys to pick up stones in the river dam. Large and small stones were piled up in a circle in the tribe, and whoever came would be smashed, especially the thieves of the Huangshui tribe. It would be better if they smashed to pieces. "The priest was excited like a hot-blooded young man, obviously hating the Huangshui tribe very much.
Su Yao agreed with the priest's plan, but he still reminded: "Grandpa priest, if you don't tell me where to find a rope with strong elasticity, this catapult will not be able to be made well."
The priest's expression froze for a moment, and he gave a fake cough, then thought: "There is a kind of blood vine growing beside the stream deep in the forest, a small piece can be pulled for a long time, and it can recover immediately when it is loosened. , even with a bone knife, it’s hard to pick.”
Su Yao was a little pleasantly surprised. Isn't this a pure natural elastic cord? It doesn't matter to him if it is hard to pick.
"Please ask the priest to ask a few prudent and dexterous warriors to prepare the wood first, and I will go to Xitan to pick blood vines and grass." Su Yao was about to leave, but was stopped by the priest in a hurry: "It is dangerous in such a big snowy forest. The people from the previous team will follow you, so we can rest assured."
"Understood, priest, don't worry."
Go forward along the patrolling team and find Zhongli at the stone platform on the upper dam.It stands to reason that it has come to the end of the cold winter, and the snow should be less, but the weather changes as it says, and it is still sunny in the morning, and it snows again in the afternoon.
Su Yao was wearing a jet-black fur cloak, and he strolled in the yard without any snow on his feet. The guards immediately stood up when they saw it, and they were not surprised at Su Yao's appearance of walking lightly on the snow.
In their hearts, Su Yao is the incarnation of the gods, and it is normal to have all kinds of miraculous performances. Walking on snow like this is just a common skill.
When Su Yao came to the front, everyone put their right hands on their chests and shouted in unison: "I have seen you, Lord God Envoy."
"You don't need to be too polite." Su Yao shot out a burst of fire spirit power, and everyone saw an orange-red light wave from Su Yao's hand and landed on him. The warm feeling filled the whole body, and the exhaustion of trekking in the snow was also swept away. And empty.
As soon as I thought about it, I knew that this was another witchcraft bestowed by the envoy. Everyone thanked Su Yao in a hurry, and the snow was very lively.
Su Yao waited until the voices of the people became quieter before saying: "Zhongli and I have something to do, you go back first."
Zhongli nodded in agreement, his eyes only fell on Su Yao.
Seeing this, Shi Shi stopped talking and organized a team to return to the tribe neatly.
After the group of people had gone far away, Su Yao asked Zhongli with a smile: "Why don't you talk, afraid that I will sell you?"
The gloom on Zhongli's face dissipated a bit, dimples looming: "Don't be afraid, I'm going to follow you anyway."
For some reason, Su Yao felt that this answer was very pleasing to the ear, and he relaxed the aura he was facing in front of outsiders just now: "Take me to Xitan, the priest said that there are blood vines and grasses there."
"Okay." Zhongli responded.
The two walked up the mountain side by side. Not long after they left, Zhong Li squeezed closer to Su Yao, and the distance between them got closer.
After walking a few steps like this, the shoulders of the two collided several times. Su Yao thought that maybe the road up the mountain was not easy, and Zhongli's body was not as light as his own, so they bumped into each other after walking a little hard.
He simply grabbed Zhongli's wrist, a wave of spiritual power slowly flowed from his palm to Zhongli's tendons, causing his body to suddenly lighten.
Seeing Zhongli's slightly wide-open eyes in surprise, Su Yao was amused, and explained: "The snow in the mountains is too thick, you follow the formula I taught you to bring this power to your feet, and I will take you away. "
Zhong Li nodded his head lightly, and obediently followed what Su Yao said. Sure enough, the steps he took were only floating on the snow, and he didn't step on it. He walked effortlessly.
Su Yao knew that Zhongli's comprehension was amazing, and he was not surprised to see him learn to use spiritual energy just once, so he took Zhongli's arm and walked quickly to the top of the mountain.Zhong Li followed beside him, his eyes fell on the two people's intertwined wrists, and a gentle smile appeared on his gloomy face.
The two walked for an entire hour, and finally saw the whole picture of Xitan.
Xitan is the birthplace of streams in the forest. The place closest to the top of the mountain is backed by a hundred-foot-high cliff. Animals in the mountain like to drink water by the stream. The snow around Xitan is all stepped on by animals. Hoofprints.
Standing at the creek and looking around, the mountains and fields are covered with silver. The [-] mountains of the Dahuang Mountains are connected with the distant sky in the heavy snow, which is extraordinarily magnificent. The creek in the center of the mountains is like an emerald inlaid in the vast white snow. , Quiet and mysterious.
The afternoon sun was half hidden among the mountains, and a little golden-red light fell, which was extremely brilliant.
Such primitive, desolate, mysterious, and extreme beauty shocked Su Yao to stand in place. With just one glance, he felt the vastness and dignity of the wild world that was cold to the bone.
"This kind of scenery is really charming." After a long time, Su Yao sighed.
For the first time, he had the urge to hold the [-] mountains and the [-]-mile plain in his hands. He believed that as long as he was a human being, he would have such an idea standing here at this moment.
At this moment, Su Yao was a little grateful for the task arranged by Tiandao for him, and bursts of pride surged in his heart, wanting to leave a strong mark in this vast wilderness with his own ability.
Zhong Li came back to his senses earlier than Su Yao, and he was also indulging in these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, but the people beside him in his heart are more important than these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.
Hearing Su Yao's emotion, Zhong Li vaguely felt that Su Yao seemed to have changed: he was no longer like a spectator sent by the gods, wandering at both ends of the world, and everything was out of sight.
The spiritual power from his body was removed, and his feet stepped on the snow and landed on the soil. At this time, Su Yao completely integrated himself into the Hundred Thousand Mountains and into this wild world.
"Ah Yao, the wind is getting strong." A cold wind blew in the woods, and Zhong Li stood by Su Yao's side to cover up some of the coldness.
"Okay," Su Yao breathed out slowly, with excitement in his eyes: "Let's go to collect blood vines."
The blood vine grass is dark red in color, and the vines are rooted between the cliffs and rocky mountains, and the large areas are very lush.
Su Yao's cultivation at the third level of qi training is not yet ready to fly in the air, he jumped high with the help of his feet, and the spiritual power he shot turned into a blade aimed at the root of the blood vine grass.
Dozens of spiritual powers fell down one after another, and many blood vines and grasses fell from the rocky mountain, all of which were collected by Su Yao in the space.
Everyone in the tribe is busy with work. On the plain on the other side of the mountain, more than 700 young and strong warriors are carrying sharp spears, bows and arrows, and carrying bulging animal skin tents. coming from the direction.
When the two returned to the tribe, a lot of wood had been piled up on the big field, and many people were repairing wooden wheels with stone axes. The priest who was directing everyone to work saw Su Yao with a smile and narrowed his eyes: "The envoy of God is back, and the blood is found. Is the vine grass gone?"
Su Yao nodded, curious about the source of this pile of wood: "Where do you get so much wood?"
The priest stroked his beard, and his mouth hadn't stopped laughing since he saw the blueprint: "Anyway, a wooden house is not warm, so it's better to dismantle it and make a catapult first."
It turned out that there was not much wood in the tribe, so some people took the initiative to tear down the unused beams of their houses. Anyway, there are a lot of wood on the mountain, and they can cut it when they rejuvenate.
Seeing this, other people followed suit one after another, and the big field was full of logs in a short while.
Seeing how everyone worked together, Su Yao was naturally satisfied, and asked the priest to take care of the main frame of the catapult, and he and Zhong Li went to deal with the blood vine grass.
Fresh blood vine grass is more resilient than Su Yao imagined. A one-foot-long vine can be stretched to ten or even fifteen times the length before breaking, and it can be retracted instantly when it is released before it breaks. Works better than some modern rubber bands.
But the shortcomings of the blood vine grass are also obvious. As a plant, once it loses water, it will dry up and lose its toughness, and it will turn into a fine powder when it is crushed with your fingertips.
Su Yao can only use various methods to retain the water in the vines, but other methods except applying magic formulas are not very effective. As long as there is air, the water will escape sooner or later.
For several days in a row, Su Yao did not find a solution.
Large and small catapults were erected on the field, the big ones were eight or nine meters high, and the small ones were more than three meters high. The catapults with wooden wheels were fixed in place, which looked very majestic.
Now everything is ready to be finished, only the ropes that add elasticity remain.
Su Yao was not in a hurry, if he couldn't do it, he would first use monk means to solve the predicament in front of him, and then slowly figure out the rest.
Just thinking about this, Su Yao suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "There are many places in the forest where there is water. Why must the blood vine grass grow on the edge of the stream? Is there something weird there?" He immediately got up and ran back to the mountain. He had a hunch that if he figured out the reason, he might be able to solve the problem of blood vine grass moisturizing.
Zhong Li went to patrol, and Su Yao was not interested in walking alone in the woods, so he simply took a quick escape and reached the top of the mountain in less than 10 minutes.
Xi Tan was as quiet as ever. Su Yao sensed a pack of wolves peeping in the woods, perhaps because he sensed something abnormal about Su Yao. The pack of wolves just guarded him and didn't intend to attack him.
Su Yao carefully checked along the place where the blood vine grass grew, and found no problem the first time, everything was normal.He didn't give up, the monk's intuition told him there must be a reason.
During the second inspection, he looked more carefully, even dug out the dirt under the snow and looked at it one by one, and this time he found the problem: the soil where blood vine grass grows is darker than other places shallower.
Blowing away the snowflakes on the soil layer, Su Yao changed the soil spirit power to feel the breath of the soil, and finally found a different place inside. The weathered rock powder in the soil makes it extra moist, because these powders have a strong Absorptive, absorbing moisture in the air all the time.
The blood vine was saved. Su Yao collected a lot of rock weathering powder. He twisted the fresh blood vine into a straw rope and soaked it in the powder, so that the surface of the grass rope was completely covered with powder. Then he made a trick and found These straw ropes have not shown signs of drying up for a long time.
In order to have a better effect, Su Yao added colloidal juice to the powder. The juice and powder are mixed together for stronger adsorption and moisturizing.
Great, problem solved!Su Yao smiled, as if a boy had solved a puzzle, and his peach blossom eyes added a bit of youthful agility, which didn't match his mysterious status as an envoy.
Carrying a large amount of weathered rock powder down the mountain, when taking a shortcut to climb a mountain, Su Yao saw smoke rising into the air on the plain in the distance, like the thick smoke rising from a grand bonfire.
Ordinary people would not be able to see so far away, but Su Yao's cultivation is about to break through the third level of Qi training, and his body functions will be greatly improved. In addition, he is standing high, and the smoke in the distance will enter his line of sight. .
It is impossible for heavy snow in cold winter to spontaneously combust. How could there be smog on the endless plain?
It was almost without thinking that there was a fire on the plain. Unfortunately, the distance was too far and the grass covered it. Su Yao couldn't see the number of people stationed. He could only judge from the rising smoke pile that there must be a lot of people.
Keeping his doubts in his heart, Su Yao hurried back to the tribe.
"Zhongli, take people to invite the priest, patriarch, and Su Ya, and Chu Shan is in charge of leading people to twist the blood vines in the cave into straw ropes." Just after entering the tribe, they saw Zhongli and Chu Shan after the feeding, Su Yao immediately issued an order.
Zhongli didn't hesitate, his figure quickly disappeared into the snow, Chu Shan called his team members to rush to Zhongli's cave.
Su Yao quickly demonstrated how to deal with the blood vine grass, and Chu Shan and the others quickly learned to weave ropes quickly.
Zhongli rushed into the cave carrying the priest with slower legs and feet. The poor priest was knocked so old that he almost vomited his lunch. It took him a while to recover.
"The situation is urgent, so I'll just say it straight." Su Yao's expression was serious, and the others also became serious.
"There are traces of smoke on the plain, and I suspect that there are people stationed there, and there are a lot of them."
The priest's face changed when he heard this: "First, someone was spying on our tribe secretly, and now they are still stationed on our Huangping tribe's territory openly and aboveboard. They simply don't take our Huangping tribe seriously."
Bell Tower hesitated and said: "According to the situation in previous years, it is time to rejuvenate these few days, but this year's winter is too cold, maybe other tribes have not enough food, so they came out to look for food."
Su Yao didn't answer, and looked at Zhongli: "What do you think?"
Zhong Li's eyes swept across the clock tower and landed on Su Yao: "It's the Huangshui tribe." His tone was very firm: "It's exactly fifteen days since the time when the footprints were discovered."
That's right, everyone who grew up in the Huangping tribe knows that it only takes seven days to travel from the Huangshui tribe to the Huangping tribe. to the plains.
Moreover, the Huangshui tribe's covetousness towards the Huangping tribe has never diminished. This year's cold winter is so long, it is also possible that the Huangshui tribe lacks food and wants to take the opportunity to annex the Huangping tribe.
"I think the same as Zhongli." Su Yao looked at the crowd: "Even if the people who came here were not from the Huangshui tribe, they were definitely not good people. The weather is cold, and the source of food is the biggest problem. You guys know this better than me. "
The priest and the others were stunned: Yes, Shu Tan has lived for a long time and almost forgot what is going on outside the tribe. The cold winter is not over yet. Not all tribes can be blessed by the gods like the Huangping tribe, and they don’t have to worry about food and drink.
If there is not enough food, go to other tribes to plunder. This is a common thing among tribes. Whoever has a hard fist is justified. The law of survival in the wild has never changed.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Su Yao chuckled, and his slightly curved peach eyes flashed with an unusually bright light: "What do you want to do so much, no matter who it is, as long as he dares to come and fight directly, when did the soldiers of the Huangping tribe be afraid of it?" other people."
"Yes, obey the orders of the envoy!"
Before the priest and patriarch could react, Chu Shan and his team responded first, and the female voice mixed in was full of arrogance.
"Very good." Su Yao was very satisfied with their performance: "Chu Shan listened to the order and immediately gathered all the warriors of the tribe in the field, and issued the order in 10 minutes."
"Chu Shan takes orders!" Chu Shan's team ran out well-trained.
"Suya listens!"
"To!"
"You take the members of the medical emergency team in the tribe to sort out the first aid necessities immediately. All first aid tools must be disinfected and cleaned up, and they are on standby at any time."
"Yes, Angel!"
Su Yao's eyes fell on Zhongli, and his eyes showed full trust in him: "Zhongli obeys the order, all the soldiers in this operation will be under your command, only victory is not allowed!"
Zhong Li stood up straight, lowered his head slightly, and expressed his submission to Su Yao with actions: "Yes, envoy of God."
In just a few words, only the priest and patriarch and Su Yao were left in the cave.
Seeing the unnaturalness of the clock tower and the astonishment of the priest, Su Yao smiled confidently and powerfully: "Grandpa Priest, Lord Patriarch, do you have anything else to say now?"
Bell Tower opened his mouth, but finally shook his head silently.The priest wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he found that there seemed to be nothing to say, so he tapped on his crutch and said, "Of course I believe you, but I still want to say something."
Su Yao raised his eyebrows, his eyes bright: "Grandpa Priest, please tell me."
The priest's cloudy eyes were full of seriousness: "You are the tribe's reliance, please protect yourself."
Su Yao's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded in agreement: "I've made a note, priest, don't worry."
In the big field after 10 minutes, Su Yao did not say the reason for the assembly, but only issued a few orders: "Teams two to seven, immediately go to the river bank to pick up stones of appropriate size."
"The first team fixed the blood vine grass ropes on the catapults. The eighth and ninth teams were responsible for collecting the arrows uniformly, sharpening them and preparing them neatly. The tenth team was responsible for pushing all the catapults to the open space outside the tribe. Adjust the throwing distance."
Following his order, the five hundred warriors of the Huangping tribe moved quickly. The women who stayed behind in the tribe spontaneously boiled ginger soup to drive out the cold under the organization of Su Ya, and the old and weak set up lighting and heating tents. torches.
No one objected to Su Yao's order, and they had learned to obey all of Su Yao's orders before they knew it.
Everyone in the tribe was busy until the sound of the drum at [-] o'clock in the evening before they received Zhongli's order: "The eighth team will stay on watch and patrol, and the rest will go home and sleep immediately."
The orders are like a mountain, and after many days of training, the soldiers of the Huangping tribe have thoroughly memorized these four characters. Even if they have doubts, they will only follow the orders and never ask more questions.
It is about four hours away from the place where the smoke rose from the tribe. Su Yao knew that the other party must rely on something if he dared to sleep in the wild. when.
Because dawn is generally the time when people sleep most soundly and are least alert. At this time, sneak attacks can often bring great panic to the victims, and can reduce their resistance to a certain extent.
More importantly, who sleeps with a bow and spear?A warrior without weapons is like a wild wolf whose teeth have been pulled out, no matter how mighty they are, they cannot escape death.
Su Yao knew this. He analyzed the situation in front of him: If he wanted to launch a sneak attack early in the morning, the opponent would have to travel in the middle of the night. It was cold and dark at night, and traveling was extremely exhausting. Normally, he would not do this unless the opponent had enough warm clothes. Clothes and adequate food.
Food is not a problem. As for warm clothes... The barren land is vast and abundant, and there are many kinds of plants. This possibility cannot be ruled out.
Su Yao filled a bamboo tube with cold-dispelling soup, turned around and walked out of the cave.
Everyone in the tribe was asleep, and it was pitch black at a glance.He can see at night now, and walks in the snow like walking on flat ground.
"Why are you here? It's cold outside." Zhong Li took the bamboo tube from Su Yao's hand and put it aside, and stretched out his hand to cover him under his cloak to block the cold wind.
"I made a soup to drive you away from the cold." Su Yao said in a low voice, "Be careful when it's dawn, they may take the opportunity to sneak attack."
"Okay, I've made a note, you go back quickly." Zhong Li urged Su Yao to go back to the cave.
It was too windy outside the tribe, and the others crowded in groups of ten to rest behind the catapult, and only Zhongli took shelter from the wind alone. It was a little cold after all.
"Okay." Su Yao was also rude to him, but just put a ball of fire in Zhongli's hand when he left.
The small dumpling formed by Huo Lingli danced in Zhongli's hand, dispelling the cold in an instant. It was warm and soft like Su Yao's defenseless smile when he woke up from sleep. Zhongli put the fire dumpling on his heart and put it down.
Although the weather is cold these days, the dawn time is much earlier.It was still completely dark when the wild bird purred for the first time, and the tribe heard the sound of the wild cowhide drum, a total of five.
"It's five o'clock, get up quickly."
The soldiers all got up from the bed and put on their hardest wooden armor. The slaves and women who were in charge of breakfast had already cooked sweet rice fruit porridge and large pieces of bacon.
Each soldier is full of a bowl of vegetable and meat porridge, a piece of meat the size of a palm, and a roasted potato, which is enough to eat.
After breakfast, Chu Shan took a team of people to change shifts. At this time, the morning stars in the eastern mountains lit up.
Everything was ready, Zhongli led five hundred soldiers and stood quietly in the open space outside the tribe.
The sky was still dark before dawn, and it was so gray that I couldn't see it very clearly.A gray spot suddenly appeared on the distant plain, intertwined with the color of the snow and moving fast, if you don't look carefully, you will definitely miss it.
"Sure enough, it's a thief. Whose guest came so sneakily and shamelessly." The priest leaned on a cane and stood on the high platform with Su Yao. He leaned forward and stared at the moving points on the plain.
Although he still couldn't see the appearance of the thief clearly, the priest was [-]% sure that the idiots from the Huangshui tribe came.
Seeing that Su Yao didn't answer, the priest asked again: "Aren't you going to take a look, Zhongli has never commanded so many people to fight."
Su Yao chuckled, his eyes fell on Zhongli below, and his words were full of affirmation: "I believe in him, and I also believe in my vision. In my opinion, all the people in the Great Wilderness Mountains are no match for Zhongli alone."
The priest laughed: "I used to be like you. I had a good friend who talked about everything and trusted each other. It's a pity that he died early, and he has been gone for 20 years."
The morning star was covered by dark clouds, the sky that was about to brighten suddenly became dark, and heavy snow fell in mid-air, making the vision even more blurred.
Su Yao was not interested in other people's past, his attention fell on the plain, the attacker was about to enter the attack range of the catapult, which meant that the battle was about to begin.
Zhongli waved the big black flag three times in a row, and the captains ordered their team members: "Get your catapults ready!"
The sling handle was pulled away by the two men, and a stone weighing several tens of kilograms was placed on the semi-circular wooden plate that fixed the stone. All movements were silent, only waiting for the final instruction.
The black command flag swung forward suddenly, and dozens of catapults threw stones of all sizes following his movements.
Howling and screaming suddenly sounded in the distance, and the attackers in gray and white fur coats began to panic and dodge.
The second round of throwing stones flew out again, and the place where the big stone fell was covered with bright red blood in the white snow. In less than 5 minutes, dozens of people were killed or injured by the attackers.
There was a voice of reprimand in a familiar but somewhat different tone. It was the leader of the Huangshui tribe: "You are not allowed to retreat. Go forward. If you get closer, those stones will not be able to hit you."
The voice reached Su Yao's ears, and he chuckled, the leader of the Huangshui tribe was smarter than he imagined, but so what, they dared to come, Su Yao didn't intend to let them go back alive.
After five consecutive rounds of stone throwing, the sneak attackers had already run out of the range of throwing stones, Zhongli's command flag changed direction again, and the soldiers in the front row took out the bows and arrows they had prepared in advance from their backs and knelt down on one knee to prepare for shooting. The soldiers in the first row held wooden shields to block the heads of themselves and their teammates, and the soldiers in the third row also held bows and arrows to prepare for replacement.
Under the banner, sharp swords flew out like rain.The sneak attackers also bent their bows and set up arrows to shoot at this time, but the battlefield was changing rapidly, and one minute earlier meant that they had seized the opportunity.
The arrows of the Huangping tribe shot at the attackers first, and many people fell to the ground. Although the arrows of the attackers were dense, they were disorderly and less aggressive.
Most of the enemy's wooden arrows were blocked by the wooden shield, and a few scattered ones fell on the ground without causing damage.Following Zhongli's command, the people in the third row took the place of the first row to shoot, and the people in the first row retreated and re-nocked their arrows to prepare.
They have done these exercises many times during training, and now they are not only not nervous but very excited when using them on the battlefield.
After exchanging shots for ten rounds in a row, piercing screams rang out one after another. A ray of rising sun in the sky broke through and ravaged snowflakes and fell on the soldiers of the Huangping tribe. Only then did the leader of the raiders see clearly the posture of the Huangping tribe waiting for battle.
With just one glance, he knew that he had fallen into the trap of the Huangping tribe. He was shocked and hurriedly ordered the warriors to retreat: "Quickly retreat, don't run forward, they have an ambush."
However, these days of planning and absolute confidence in their own strength, the warriors of the Huangshui tribe have long regarded the Huangping tribe as prey, and now they have suddenly suffered a big loss. Fighting to vent his anger, he turned a deaf ear to the leader's words.
The distance between the two sides was narrowed again during the fast running, the shooting of bows and arrows was useless, Zhong Li gave an order and took the lead to charge forward.
Assassinated with a spear, desperately.The bloodiest scene of the wild tribe has just been staged.
The sharp spears were slightly less sharp than modern knives, but they could definitely pierce through animal skins and penetrate human organs.Seeing that no one listened to his order, the leader of the Huangshui tribe had no choice but to rush forward again.
He thought very clearly that no matter how scheming the Huangping tribe was, there were as many as four or five hundred people under his command who were still alive, and they would never suffer a loss in a fight.
The other members of the Huangshui tribe thought the same as he did. They didn't care what to do, and with their brute force, they really fought to a draw with the warriors of the Huangping tribe.
Zhongli's strikes were even more ruthless, and a single sweep of the spear could break his arms or pass through his chest. In just a few minutes, more than ten warriors of the Huangshui tribe died under his hands, and all of them died in miserable conditions. Rest in peace.
Such a scene was really cruel and bloody, even if the warriors of the Huangshui tribe were not afraid of death, they would not dare to fight again seeing Zhongli like this, so they had to flee in a hurry.
The spear in Zhongli's hand was dripping with bright red blood, and everyone shunned wherever he went. He walked steadily towards An Dahu, the leader of the Huangshui tribe, step by step.
Chu Shan, who was fighting with An Dahu, saw Zhongli approaching, and dodged An Dahu's attack with a dodge, leaving the position for Zhongli.
As soon as An Dahu missed the shot, he turned around and saw Zhong Li walking towards him not far away, and his heart suddenly felt cold: this person looked at him as if he was looking at a dead thing.
An Dahu knew that there was only one ending for today, either he died or the young man in front of him died.
The two spears were also stained with blood, the difference was that An Dahu's seemed a little old.
The spear points stab at each other, not giving in to each other.Zhong Li didn't use the tactic of lightening the body and the tactic of swords given to him by Su Yao, he only confronted An Dahu based on the experience he had learned in hunting.
Su Yao and the priest on the high platform not far away stared at the battlefield closely, and naturally saw that Zhong Li hadn't tried his best.The priest sighed and said softly, "Let me tell you a story."
Su Yao raised his eyebrows: "If you want to talk about Zhongli's parents, I already know about it."
"Have I already told you?" The priest chuckled, "It seems that your relationship is better than I thought."
Su Yao felt that the meaning in his words was a little weird, so he didn't answer.
The priest continued: "Then he must not have told you that his adoptive father, Zhong Yun, also died at the hands of the Huangshui tribe. These years, Zhongli never participated in the tribe's hunting and rarely appeared in front of people, because he often hunted down the old man in the mountains. enemy."
It takes seven days to travel along the plain to the Huangshui tribe, but it only takes three days to go through the dense forest, but there are too many dangers in the dense forest, and no one dares to go there.
In the final analysis, Zhong Li just wanted revenge.
The battle became more and more intense, and the soldiers of the Huangping tribe were also injured. Su Ya took twenty women with white cloths on their arms to place the injured soldiers aside and bandage them with medicine.
People kept falling, and blood stained the snow red.
Both Zhongli and An Dahu wanted to put each other to death with their deadly moves, and the other fighters also refused to give in to each other, desperately trying to protect their tribe and family.
The time seemed to overlap, and it was the same scene a few years ago, almost the same spear and similar appearance, Zhongli's parents and adoptive father died in the war to protect the tribe.
Today, a few years later, Zhong Li led his young people to behead the seven hundred warriors of the Huangshui tribe in front of the gate of the tribe, and sacrificed the former warriors with their blood and heads.
The spear in Zhongli's hand stabbed forward suddenly, and the sharp wooden blade pierced into An Dahu's neck. The spear slashed left and right, blood rushed into the air, and An Dahu's head fell to the ground.
"Leader..." The person who wanted to come to rescue was pierced by Chu Shan's spear and fell to the ground.
The warriors of the Huangping tribe have been trained for a long time, and they cooperated with each other tacitly, and countless people died at their hands.
Seeing the leader and the most outstanding warriors of his own tribe all die, the few remaining raiders also lost the will to attack and wanted to escape, but they were all captured by the soldiers of the Huangping tribe.
At this point, the surprise attack on the Huangshui tribe ended. Only 87 of the 610 warriors of the Huangshui tribe were alive, and all three of the remaining [-] died.
Soldiers from the Huangping tribe were seriously injured 37 people, 160 people were slightly injured, and no one was killed.
This is the first time that the Huangping tribe has won a big victory without losing a single person.
The snow under their feet was scarlet. The soldiers yelled loudly and danced a famous tribal dance around the slaves to celebrate. The women were busy preparing water and food for the soldiers. The joy of victory shrouded everyone's hearts.
The priest stroked his beard triumphantly with his cane: "The thieves of the Huangshui tribe, die well. My Huangping tribe has finally avenged for many years, hahahaha..."
"Are you happy?" The smell of blood permeated the tip of his nose, and Su Yao's fingertips trembled behind his back, but the smile on his face was still gentle.
The priest nodded subconsciously, and suddenly felt that Su Yao's tone was wrong, and turned his head to ask, "Why are you asking that, are you unhappy?"
Su Yao looked into the distance, the sun was shining through the clouds, and the other side of the plain
